Influential Magazines.

After much research into different music magazines, I began to focus on the magazines which influenced me in the decisions made into my draft magazine.
The issue of Q magazine with Take That on the front reflects the kind of 'happy' and 'relaxed' view I was attempting to grasp on my cover. I like the colour scheme on this issue as it is simple but still looks 'tidy'. The other issue of Q magazine also has a very strict colour scheme. I think that the right colour scheme is important in a magazine as it is the first thing which attracts the reader's attention. If there are too many colours in a magazine it has tendency to make it look 'messy' and unprofessional. I also like how the main cover lines are situated and there isn't much blank space. All of the cover stars on this issue are wearing black, looking at this issue it has made me see that it is important to look at all the smaller details. The clothing colour ties in with the colour scheme. I also have been researching issues of NME magazine. The font on the magazine is very bold and simple. I think this simple and effective.
